I fall into that trap once in a while.

That's why I say the stuff I build is from "Rough Edge Fab"

I'll build a 'protoype' to see if it will work, nothing fancy, nothing ground smooth.

Well, they usually work, and I never bother to build a nice one, or clean up what I built once it's bolted on. :D

Lot of 'Rough Edges' on my CJ7

Yep, you have to have a "get 'er done" attitude when your Jeeping in the boonies. You can't call a wrecker or walk to the store. It's a do or die situation.

I love it.
Jesse, you are more honest than many of us.
I am just as guilty of "little temporary" repairs that tend to stay on the Jeep for months (or years) as the next guy.
I've removed some "Bubba"stuff from mine, but you should see my snow plow mount. The next guy is going to call me Bubba. Hey it works and moves lots of snow.
Keep the Jeeps alive and running  (even if it takes an occasional bandaid).

So I know people get really mad about these so called 'Bubba mods' that they end up dealing with on their jeeps. Well I am here to say that if you intend to use your jeep, then it will have to happen at some point. Some examples:

1. After flat towing my jeep to the U.P. / Shambhala, I noticed that the u joint caps that my silly father taped up had come undone. I mean come on Dad, use a little more tape here. (someone around here has met him/ probably tried to talk him low on some prices. Love you Dad!) But what is he going to do, drive 8 hours up here and press the joint for me? Nope. So I used a big rock and a socket to do it myself. Is it set in there correctly? Probably not. My jeep runs and drives.

2. While cruising deep in the boonies, a bolt fell out of the generator bracket. We used parachute cord to pull it twords the fender and hold the belt tight. Did I remember to put a bolt back in there for maybe 3 days? No I did not.  My jeep runs and drives.

3. Jeep stared to overheat. Whoops the thermostat is bad. I got a new one, but they didn't have a gasket. So I cut one using a steak knife and childrens safety scissors. It looked like crap so some aquarium sealant went on there as well. I also was missing my 1/8 inch drill bit. Two smaller holes didn't seem like a good idea so I just used the next closest size and sort of reamed out the hole. My jeep runs and drives.

4. Rain comes in the air vent. I get more wet from that then the lack of a full top. Duck tape goes over the hole instead of the hatch.

5. The rearview mirror fell off again, so that is now tied on with more cord. I do not intend to repair this problem ever again.
And on and on   ::) Poor jeep.
